Hilarious! As far as good representation of PR people in movies, I'm at a loss. We should make our own; any volunteers? Favorite movie thus far of Summer 2008: Get Smart. Hilarious!

I love getting movie recommendations! I've added them to my Blockbuster queue. By the way, am I the only one who feels truly victorious every time I spell the word "queue" correctly?

Well that's a shock. I skipped Hancock because I was out of town (and because of the mainly horrible reviews) but I've always been a fan of Bateman. It's great to know his character wasn't the shallow stereotype of the smarmy PR person like so many movies tend to use. While <a href="http://eloquation.com/2008/06/30/wall-e/" rel="nofollow">Wall·E</a> is by far my favorite movie of the year so far, I'd recommend you check out <a href="http://eloquation.com/2006/03/09/jason-reitman-talks-cigarettes/" rel="nofollow">Thank You For Smoking</a>, a film that came out some years ago. In TYFS, Aaron Eckhart plays a spokesperson for the cigarette industry. Yes, he's smarmy and conniving, but you end up empathizing with the guy. Let me know what you think of it.
